    I was previously using glass containers to bring 4 ish meals on my work trips as a flight attendant. I don't want to use plastic containers due to leaching concerns, but glass is wayyy too heavy to lug around for days, so I bought these to have lighter weight option--and the collapsible space-saving design was a selling point too. They've been good for work and they're also good to throw in your bag when going out to restaurants to use instead of takeout containers. I've been using them for close to a year now and I honestly still haven't found / can't think of anything better. That being said, there are a couple cons. They're not completely leak-proof, the tabs are kind of annoyingly tough to unclasp at times, and more specific to my profession, they will collapse when stacked on top of each other after a day of flights (probably due to the pressure changes). Also, note that silicone items will always be prone to stains and smells lingering, but that's something that can be avoided or fixed with a little extra care. Oh and they have measurements on the inside which is a nice feature!

    Definitely deserves the hype taste-wise, it's absolutely delicious -- and this is coming from an Italian American household. I just wish it wasn't in a plastic bottle. That being said, with the refills in aluminum, I can just get a glass bottle and put the oil in there.

    Supergoop!

    I'm going to be real with y'all, I don't understand the hype. Me and my partner confidently bought the GINORMOUS size because everyone says how amazing it is, and I loved the reduction in plastic that comes from buying bigger sizes/not having to keep buying multiple times throughout the summer. For disrupting the industry with this big size, I'll give it two stars, but the best kind of sunscreen is the one you wear, and this formula is sooo sticky (and never dries down), that we don't want to. Maybe I just spoiled myself with Korean sunscreen brands, but we both actually feel kind of gross after applying it. As for US brands, a much better sunscreen to me is Black Girl Sunscreen.

    Me and my partner I *love* the fruity flavor, it's like a healthier version of fruit loops! And the packaging is just so cute. It is very expensive, so I only buy it at Costco. I've tasted the peanut butter one dry and it's good, but as a general rule, I prefer peanut butter mixed in with other flavors. I've also tried the chocolate one and was underwhelmed, it just wasn't rich enough for me.

    I wanted to like this because I've been having tummy issues related to wheat (any fructan-intolerant peeps out there?), but the texture is super gummy in a very unpleasant way. It sticks to the teeth way more than regular pasta, and as someone with sensory issues, that's a pretty solid no from me. It'll do in a pinch, but my hunt continues.

    Actually kinda addicting! I've only had the caramel one, but it's so good, I'd be willing to bet the rest of them are just as amazing.

    Some of the flavors are definitely not my cup of macaroni so-to-speak lol but I am *loving* the gluten free and vegan box of Goodles! As someone having tummy issues related to wheat right now, it's been a godsend. Definitely try that if you're celiac or low-FODMAP!

    This brand has the lazy Italian-American stamp of approval. It's the next best thing after making your own sauce. My family still makes fun of me for it, but they'll eat (and like) it if I make something with it.

    So, I got the Thingdrop trial pack with Confidence, Energy, Clarity and Creativity. While I love this product in theory, be wary if you are sensitive to caffeine because these four all have 100mg of it which is a little to high for me personally. It's akin to, if not a little higher than, a cup of coffee. = I do much better with 50-70mg, otherwise I get really anxious/jittery.

    I like it! I try to be as ecofriendly as possible so I've been doing shampoo/conditioning bars for a while and I thought I settled on my favorite but after trying my sister's plastic-bottle shampoo/conditioner one time (I can't remember the brand) and having my hair feel great, I've been on the hunt for a more sustainable liquid product. This isn't having the exact same effect but it's definitely closer.
